all i know is im pissed cause my buddy was in a big fish store in ny and told him if they had a bowfin to pick it up, he called me on his cell and said they have a 7 incher but looked like sh*t and i didnt want it. i told him to look at it and make sure cause for 20 dollers for a 7 incher i really wanted it but he said after going back to the tank it was in with a red devil and a dorado and black belt. as soon as he told me that i said forget it. stupid fish store owners.
